I'd buy it if I had friends with Switches. While I was underwhelmed when it first appeared, I do think it does some clever things with the machine, but it looks like you need multiple Switches to get the full potential out of it. That tank minigame looked class!

Hmmm... the people I'm most likely to play this with are also the other people I know with a Switch, so I may consider grabbing this. However, I do also worry that, as you've said above, Mario Party would appear to work best on a TV with four inebriated people on sofas.

So did anybody pick this up in the end, or is it one for the bargain bin? I get the feeling a lot of us don't really play local multiplayer. I saw it being played on Saturday at a party, though, and it does look about as fun in local as ever. Got decent reviews too.

I see this being the kind of game I'd play the heck of over a normal Christmas, but as my life is pretty uncertain at the moment and I'm still living with the parents meaning it isn't a special visit I'm not rushing out to get it. I'll have by next Christmas for sure.

Yeah the online is utterly baseless. I don't get why they couldn't of at least added a friend only online board or something if they are that worried about people leaving the game when they are losing!
